There is a commotion on the field due to the injury of India's wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant in the Manchester Test. While facing a fast delivery from England's fast bowler Chris Woakes, Pant attempted a dangerous shot and ended up sitting on his leg. This incident occurred on the very first day of the match.

As the ball hit directly on his leg, Pant experienced severe pain and was immediately given medical assistance. Upon examination by the doctors, it was observed that there was bleeding from his socks. He was then promptly taken off the field. Due to swelling and bleeding in his leg, the doctors realized that his condition was serious.

Pant was moved to the medical center at Manchester Stadium for initial treatment. However, as further examinations were not possible there, it was decided to transfer him directly to the hospital. At the same time, Indian team captain Shubman Gill also arrived at the hospital to visit him.

Some video clips of this incident are going viral on social media, showing Pant being taken on a stretcher. Now, the scan report is awaited, after which a decision will be made regarding further treatment and participation in the match.

The BCCI also shared information via an X post, "Rishabh Pant was hit on the right leg by the ball while batting on the first day of the Manchester Test. He was then taken to the hospital for a scan. The BCCI medical team is monitoring his condition." Currently, the entire team management and fans are focused on Rishabh Pant's health. This injury is likely to cause a significant change in India's Test team.
